As soon as the machine gun on the bunker fired, Matsui immediately recognized the sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and immediately thought that these machine guns belonged to the original port guard brigade. The old Japanese man's face darkened and he said to Zhang Lanfeng: "Commander, your department
This is how we fight. I'm going to say something ugly to the front. If the imperial army rushes in first, then all the forward troops of the 1st Division will die." Then he said to Colonel Sasaki Gosan of the 5th Infantry Regiment next to him: "
Sasaki, you personally command the battle, and you are not allowed to order anyone who retreats without mercy to be killed without mercy."
"Hai." Sasaki Gosan glanced at Zhang Lanfeng coldly and strode towards the front line.
After the port wharf became a transfer station for Japanese military supplies, it was built by the Japanese into an isolated island. Although it was connected to the outside on all sides, it faced the river to the south, the Languan River to the east, and the village to the north became a deserted island. The west side was connected to the river embankment.
The gate became the only place where the attack could be carried out. There were more than 1,400 Peace Army troops and more than 1,000 Japanese troops. At first, the Peace Army rushed in front, but the battle started within ten minutes, and the Peace Army rushed three times in a row.
, with the loss of troops and generals, it was difficult to advance. The captain of the Japanese army could not stand it and launched an attack from the inside of the river embankment.
A squadron of Japs, under the command of squadron leader Captain Yamashita Harukawa, advanced along the inner side of the river embankment towards the collapsed wall. When they were still 150 meters away from the wall, the muzzles on the bunker adjusted, "Duh duh duh duh."
"Amidst the gunshots, the two Japanese soldiers at the front fell to the ground. Captain Yamashita first shouted "Get down", and then shouted: "Sniper." After the sniper was in position, he shouted again
: "Grenadier."
The Japanese army's deployment of snipers in units above the squadron was inspired by the cadet army. These Japanese soldiers equipped with Type 15 sniper rifles were composed of veterans with accurate marksmanship. They received unified training in theater units and were then dispatched to various combat units.
, unlike the snipers of the Xuebing Army who only wear special camouflage uniforms during special operations, the Japanese snipers will wear special camouflage uniforms whenever they go into battle. For example, the two snipers under Yamashita's command are now wearing that kind of camouflage uniforms.
The camouflage suit that looked like thatch but was actually made of khaki nylon lay quietly in the grass. After receiving the battle order, the two Japanese snipers and their observation phones moved forward, moving among the weeds.
One of the soldiers named Shunzo Ishiyama quickly found a good fighting position.
After the bombardment stopped, Xiang Shaomin impatiently opened the quilt. The place where they were hiding was still more than a hundred meters away from the front line, and more than sixty meters away from the westernmost bunker.
Walking to Xu Mengcai's side, he was about to speak but was stopped by Xu Mengcai's silence gesture. Xu Mengcai asked a team member behind him to step aside, pulled Xiang Shaomin over, and motioned him to look forward.
Xiang Shaomin went over to take a look and saw that a dozen guerrillas came out of the warehouse in twos and threes, carrying an Eight Immortals table covered with quilts and running toward the collapsed section of the wall. Behind the wall was a circle of fortresses.
Tightly packed sandbags should be the fortifications used by the guerrillas for defense. The combination of sandbags and the Eight Immortals Table, no, it should also include the quilts covering the Eight Immortals Table. This kind of fortifications is really convenient and quick to combine.
But can it really stop the Japanese attack? Xiang Shaomin expressed deep doubts.
There were not many combatants left at the dock, and their biggest reliance was the two bunkers and the two machine gun positions inside. Suddenly, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns in the west bunker stopped roaring at the same time. He was stunned. , just when he felt that it was not like changing the magazines at the same time, he heard Xu Mengcai say in a deep voice: "Sniper." He looked over, and meeting Xu Mengcai's eyes, Xu Mengcai asked him: "Captain Xiang, are you interested in working with the Japanese sniper?" Let’s compete.”
Xiang Shaomin nodded first and then shook his head, saying: "I don't have a spear."
"Gu Tianqiao, give Commander Xiang your gun."
A tall and thin guerrilla came over and handed the gun in his hand and the two magazines on his body to Xiang Shaomin.
On the opposite side, Shunzo Ishiyama and another sniper simultaneously killed two guerrilla machine gunners in the bunker. The next moment, Sasaki, who was blocking behind the Japanese and puppet forward troops with more than a hundred military police, immediately shouted: "Assault." ,assault."
The sniper was arranged by Yamashita Qingchuan. He straightened up almost at the same time, pointed his sword forward and shouted "assault". More than three hundred Japanese soldiers immediately got up from the ground, shouted and rushed forward. The Peace Army was slightly slower. It took a moment, but after Zhang Lanfeng conveyed Matsui's words to the frontline troops, the frontline commander of the Peace Army felt threatened, beat and kicked the soldiers under his command, and organized a new round of offensive.
When the Japanese and puppet troops began to charge, Xiang Shaomin and Xu Mengcai climbed onto the roof of the warehouse, which was only about 20 meters away from the west wall. The warehouse was a flat-roofed building, about 12 meters high, because The previous shelling by the Japanese army had opened several large holes in the roof. After the two people climbed up to the roof, they ran towards the west wall and soon lay down on the edge of the west wall.
Xiang Shaomin looked over and saw the faces of the Japanese soldiers two hundred meters away. He said to Xu Mengcai on the side: "Why don't you arrange some manpower here? You can get twice the result with half the effort by being condescending."
Xu Mengcai pointed at a few holes behind him. Xiang Shaomin realized it, stopped talking nonsense, and started looking for the target.
The Japanese and puppet troops rushed out no more than fifty meters away, and the two shooting holes on the west side of the bunker spit out tongues of fire again. The Peace Army once again lay neatly on the ground, while the Japanese troops braved the rain of bullets under the command of Yamashita. Running wildly, a clear Japanese "wow" sound sounded in his ears. Xiang Shaomin couldn't help but feel a little worried. The Japanese army was less than 150 meters away from the fortifications behind the guerrilla wall. There were only a few dozen of them in total. If they didn't If you open fire, once the Japanese army approaches, it will be difficult to defend against it. Having dealt with the Japanese army a lot, Xiang Shaomin knows that in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the Japanese army can defeat almost any unit in the country. The Japanese soldiers have accurate marksmanship. The distance of less than 150 meters is good for them to use this specialty. This Xu Mengcai is too trusting. Just as he was about to remind him, Xu Mengcai fired.
If Xiang Shaomin could pay attention to Xu Mengcai and Shishan Junzang at the same time, he would be horrified to find that only after Shishan Junzang pulled the trigger, Xu Mengcai's gun went off; Shishan Junzang killed another guerrilla in the bunker with one shot A machine shooter, Xu Mengcai shot him in the head.
Alerted by the gunfire so close, Xiang Shaomin was startled and was about to utter a warning, but was grabbed by Xu Mengcai. Xu Mengcai said, "Let's go." Then he ran wildly towards the east,
And just as they ran to the east wall of the warehouse and were about to slip down, the scream of grenades sounded, and then there was an explosion from their original fighting position, but it was the grenadiers of Yamashita Squadron who started retaliatory shelling.
